Talking about the song, Asees Kaur shared, "Khalsa Sajaya comes from a very personal space of faith. I grew up singing Shabads in Gurudwaras, so devotional music has been my school of music while growing up. This is my first as a composer, also a humble tribute to Khalsa, and releasing it on Baisakhi makes it even more special."
Ahead of the release of the song, Asees, best known for her songs 'Raataan Lambiyan' (Shershaah), 'Ve Maahi' (Kesari), and 'Bolna' (Kapoor & Sons) visited Gurudwara Bangla Sahib in New Delhi to seek blessings and mark the spirit of Baisakhi.
